Nintendo Switch is getting three new game titles available now in the U.S. via eShop. These new games may not be major Switch games but are ready to give players a hybrid portable/home gaming console experience. A fourth game will also be launched today, Tuesday, and this is a game first seen during the Switch announcement in January.

The first game is "Neo Turf Masters" from ACA NeoGeo and is a revival of the classic 1996 golf game. This is an arcade-style game that offers the same gameplay as "Mario Golf" and "Hot Shots Golf." It offers two-player support and retails for $8 at eShop. Another title is "Othello" which takes to the classic game "Reversi." Unlike "Neo Turf Masters" that offer two-player support, "Othello" will allow two players to play with a single Joy-Con. "Othello" may also be played with the Switch's touchscreen and this is available for $5.

The third Nintendo "Switch" game is "Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers," which is a single-player game. This game allows players to build towns and colonize new lands through a town-building simulation game. Players can hunt, fish, mine, log and perform all kinds of activities to build their mini town. "Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers" retails for $10.

"Has-Been Heroes" is the newest Nintendo Switch game which will be released today, March 28. This is an original Switch strategy game which was first announced during the Switch reveal event in January. Players will get to assemble their own team of heroes to combat enemies. Developed by Frozenbyte, the creators of the "Trine" series, "Has Been Heroes" is available physically and digitally for $20.

Taking Nintendo Switch players further is the new "Minecraft: Story Mode-The Complete Adventure" which will be available in June, according to Amazon. The game is now available for pre-orders and will cost $39.99. The "Minecraft" game is available on other game formats but is $10 more when it comes to the Switch.
